概述过去30年间与印度尼西亚海和印度尼西亚贯穿流有关的海洋动力学方面的研究进展。印度尼西亚海处于海洋大陆的中心地带,衔接西太平洋和印度洋的暖池,是影响大气环流的关键海域;而通过印度尼西亚海多个连通海峡从太平洋进入印度洋的贯穿流,对维持全球大洋热盐分布和平衡起着关键的作用,影响着全球大洋环流的结构及长期的气候变化。基于大型观测计划的推动,国际上对印度尼西亚海和印度尼西亚贯穿流(ITF)研究已经有了长足的进展。不但对印度尼西亚海的环流、波动、潮流和混合、垂向层结结构,以及海气相互作用等方面取得重要进展,而且对流经该海区的世界大洋环流唯一热带跨洋盆分支——ITF进行全面研究。贯穿流研究涉及ITF的分支、垂向结构、多尺度变化、水体的来源及影响、热盐输运、与太平洋和印度洋环流的关系,以及对大尺度海气相互作用的贡献等诸多方面。对相关的研究进行分类总结并对未来的研究提出展望。
This paper reviews the relevant ocean dynamics study of the Indonesian Seas and Indonesian Throughflow in the last 30 years. Centred at the heart of Maritime Contininent, the Indonesian Seas comnect the Western Pacific Warm Pool and Indian Ocean Warm Pool, having a direct impact on the large scale atmospheric circulations. The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) , weaving through the mutli-straits and passages in the Indonesian Seas, balances the thermal and saline distribution of the world ocean. In a long time scale, ITF has an influence on the structure of general circulation and climate change. Based on the advance of the in situ observation by international cooperation, the global scientific community has a significant advance in the regional oceanography of the Indonesian Seas and ITF. Those studies include two aspects. In the study of the regional oceanography of the Indonesian Seas, this paper reviews the major advance in ocean circulation, wave dynamics, tide and mixing, ocean verti- cal stratifications and air-sea interactions. In the study of the ITF, which is the only ocean connection of the global conveyer belt in the tropics, this paper review the advance in the ITF pathway, vertical structure, muhi-scale varia- tions, water mass origin and their influence, heat and saline transport, ITF relationship with the Pacific circulations and Indian Ocean circulations, and its impact on the large scale ocean-atmosphere interactions, etc. This paper categorizes and discusses the relevant study and proposes prospects.
